From London with Love

Lovereading view...

Everyone wants to be famous, don't they? Not Jessica Granger. Her father
was the movie star who played the world's favourite James Bond and,
worse, her mother was voted sexiest-ever Bond Girl for her role as
Heavenly Melons. Like it or not, fame is in her blood. But Jessica
dearly wants to be someone in her own right. So she flees Hollywood for
London, seeking independence in a city where nobody knows her name. But
when she finds a job as a celebrity booker on a chat show she realizes
the more friends she makes, the harder it is to keep up the lies about
who she is. And when Jessica falls for Paul, a writer on the show, her
life as a double agent causes double trouble. With the truth of her past
about to explode into her new world, can Jessica convince Paul she's
the real deal? Or maybe a sprinkling of the old 007 magic will spice up
her love life?

Synopsis

From London with Love by Jemma Forte

About the Author

Jemma Forte grew up wanting to write for Cosmopolitan magazine, be a famous actress or work in a shoe shop (she loved the foot-measuring device in Clarks). Her parents didn’t want her to go to stage school because, according to them, she was ‘precocious enough already’. However, they actively encouraged her obsession with reading and writing and she wrote her first book, ‘Mizzy the Germ’, when she was eight. She sent it to a publisher (unwittingly backing up the whole precocious theory) and was dismayed when for some reason they didn’t want it.

Years later, due to The Kids from Fame (and she blames them entirely), her desire to perform hadn’t abated. Hundreds of l etters, show-reels and auditions later she finally became a Disney Channel presenter in 1998. After Disney, Jemma went on to present shows for ITV, BBC One, BBC Two and Channel 4 and, when not busy writing, can still be found talking rubbish on telly to this day. When I Met You is Jemma’s fourth novel. She lives in London with her children, Lily and Freddie.
